What are you playing now?

GTA Tales from Liberty City. Man, I want to live there (even though the city doesn't cater for vegetarians) and spend all my money on guns.

I'm currently playing God of War 3. I've just killed Hades and am now on my way to the Icarus Vault, after having ripped off Helios' head. Too much fun.

I love that game. Specially as Luis Lopez, base jumping and helicopter flying.

I was playing Bayonetta last night and I couldn't get guy one of the bosses. I tried about ten times before I started to lose it so I turned it off before a joypad got broke (again).
I've been meaning to play it today because it has to go back tomorrow and I wanted to finish it but I wasn't in the mood all day to be beaten repeatedly. Anyway I finally turned it on 10 mins ago and beat the boss straight away. Beat lumps out of him without almost no damage to myself. Last night I couldn't even take off half his energy.
Why does that happen?

When you were playing him last night you were using different parts of your brain and so your reactions were slower, you would have been subconsciously taking note of his attack patterns and when you went to sleep the information is moved from short term to long term memory and when you played it today the part of your brain that is more automated was used more.

Read VS Ramachandran's "Phatoms in the brain", it's excellent and explains this sort of thing better than I ever could.

Just played through Mass Effect 2.

Good, addictive, but essentially Fight > Moral Choice > Fight > Moral Choice.... rinse repeat. That said, I like the combat and the Plot, is standard pulp sci-fi and I liked it.

8.5/10 from me. Solid.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat
*orgasm* Scary as shit in the dark, the story is hell engaging, and they've balanced out the weapons so that even the very starting weapons can be useful near the end. The only problem is that you can miss entire passageways that don't show up on the map.

Mass Effect 2
Meh, pretty average game, fun to play but there's too much useless baggage, like planet scanning for resources. 50000 to upgrade something, get 2000 resources at most at one time.

Just Cause
It's a bad action film where you get to be the one to defy physics. GTA meets 'True Lies' - No hookers though.

Deus Ex
Haven't been able to get in to it. Will give it a go when I've got more spare time.

Playing that ATM as well, and yea, couldn't have described it's awesomeness better myself. Although I think Shadow of Chernobyl was slightly better game play and atmosphere wise.

I'm currently trying to get the remaining trophies for Heavy Rain after finishing the game, it was absolutely excellent but once you know who the killer is replaying it isn't quite the same.

Also picked up The Beatles Rockband coz the entire kit (drums, guitar, mic and game) was only £49.99 in HMV despite not liking the Beatles, surprisingly I'm now getting into them.

[cogwheel]

Starcraft II Beta (once it's back up anyway)

And of course i'm a wow-aholic.

Hopefully my copy of SMB Wii will come back soon.

I'd have to agree. I downloaded that LURK mod for SoC and it's now one hell of a game. Wandering around in the pitch black is... frightening. I think for CoP they probably had a look at what the mod brought to the game and adopted a number of the features.
The one thing they've done badly this time is that, generally, you'll find yourself not able to keep hold of one weapon for too long unless you really invest everything in to building up that one weapon, and sell all your ammo to buy it for that one weapon.
And even then you'll run out.

I just beat that game, and am now replaying God of War and God of War 2.

Kratos in GoW3 is so much more evil than in GoW or GoW2. Seriously, the first civilian you meet, and instead of just pushing him off the fiery ledge, you slam his head into the wall and throw his ass off.

Not to mention riding the cyclops' and then tearing the eyeball out.

I fuckin' love that game.

[Animavore]

Playing Uncharted 2. T'is good.
